Bannview patient Tony organises protest in face of surgery closure

It has been called by patient Tony Hendron, following yesterday (Tuesday’s) revelation in the Portadown Times that the remaining six practices at Portadown Health Centre have applied to temporarily close their lists to new patients.

This means patients at Bannview, who number around 5,000, will have to seek medical care elsewhere when the practice closes on January 16, due to no GP cover.
